These matches are usually fought between two wrestlers. They are usually more aggressive in storyline terms.
How is the pentragram linked to the devil?
There is alot of debate about the pentagram and its "true meaning", however generally speaking the accepted idea is that the pentagram turned upside down symbolises a goats head. Which is associated with Satan. Its very hard to explain the symbolisation, so perhaps a google image search for "Baphomet" will be in order, to get a visual on this idea.Another relatively popular idea is that the pentagram (turned up-right) represents man (or universal man) and that the upside down pentagram (associated with Satanism) is turning this man on is head, gesturing in a way, Satans dislike for man.A theory popular with some Satanists is that the main point (whilst doing energy work) is the direction the energy goes in. Being that most Satanist's are very much for a "greener earth" they want to see the energy go into the earth. A quote from one website reads:Fools do not know what they are doing.Energy is being sent up.It should go into the earth to replenish her.The overuse of the point-up pentagramis throwing the energies into space,causing a number of problems,and draining the earthof her ability to defend herselfagainst these problems.Its worth noting that alot of other religious groups (such as wiccans) use pentagrams, though they claim no affiliation with Satanism. Some groups will even take offence if they were to be in any way linked with Satanism, especially if the sole reason was because of their use of a pentagram.

Can you rread my essay on The Outsiders and tell me what you think?
It is on "describe a importanrt place in the text you have studied using visual techniques- describe this placeThe OutsidersIn the movie the Outsiders directed by Francis Ford Coppola, Ponyboy and Jonny run away from there broken down life back home to the safety of the old church. The Broken-down church is an important place in the Outsiders because it brings out Pony-boys and Jonny's true colours, and they are not judged as Greasers but as kids.The rural surroundings of the church are where Pony-boy and Jonny escape from sorrow and misfortune. In the outsiders symbolisation is a big Visual Technique used, like the golden hue that is always in the background, this symbolises that Pony-boy and Jonny are seeing the gold side of life that they are gold. They act like they are greasers but on the inside they are admirable, good people.The shining, glowing appearance of the church is a delightful place where Pony-boy and Jonny are running around having a fun pleasant time. They are catching animals in the yard and even though they are brave they are scared of 'the monster' outside. The lighting in the abandoned church gives us a different perspective of Pony-boy and Jonny. Back at home the lighting is always dark and there is no hope, but at the church it gives Pony-boy and Jonny a vibe of life, they can do what they want to do and just be what they are kids who just want to live life and have fun.We have learnt that Pony-boy and Jonny do have a golden side to life, and the church brings out there inner self's. They don't have to be known as a greaser, hypothetically they are but they are just good kids that unfortunately, got caught at the wrong place at the wrong time.
Who was the founder of Baptism?
You could say that it was John the Baptist because he was the firt to properly baptise people.He also baptised Jesus.John the baptist was not the first Baptist. Many people tend to think that Baptism is a purely Christian Thing, However, this is not the case. In Jewish Tradition there are three forms of Baptism:1: by Women to attain purification following the completion of their menstrual cycle.2: by Jewish men to attain a form of ritual purity.3: as part of conversion to Judaism.The symbol of water to cleanse and purify has been in human tradition for a long time. John the Baptist was merely performing that what had been in Jewish teaching and tradition for many many years.The symbolisation is that the person will clean themselves, or wash themselves before entering a new way of life, or to make themselves pure in order to move into a spiritual state of grace. Many Christians like to distance themselves from the Jewish way of life, thinking that they are new and the completion of the Jewish tradition. Yet in doing so they forget their very roots, after all, Jesus was a Jew.Answer2: The Jews performed cleansing rites upon themselves. The baptism John performed, though, was not a kind of ritual bathing familiar to the Jews. That John came to be known as the Baptizer indicates that the immersion he performed was different. Jewish religious leaders even sent a delegation to him to inquire: "Why . . . do you baptize?"-John 1:25. The cleansing required by the Mosaic Law had to be repeated as often as a worshipper became unclean. This was not true of the baptism John performed nor of that later practiced by Christians. John's baptism indicated repentance and a rejection of a former life course. Christian baptism symbolized the fact that a person had dedicated himself to God. The Christian did so once, not over and over again.The ritual bathing performed in the homes of the Jewish priests and in the public baths close to the Temple Mount bore nothing more than a superficial resemblance to Christian baptism. The respective meanings of these immersions were completely different. The Anchor Bible Dictionary observes: "A scholarly consensus holds that John [the Baptizer] did not take over or adapt any particular baptism from his milieu," that is, from Judaism. The same can be said of the baptism practiced in the Christian congregation.
